would you say what i should feel?
would you say what is real?
It's just a dream; the gaslights are out
the gaslights are out
would you say what i should say?
would you do what i would too?
it's not a dream; the gaslights are out
the gaslights are out
i could say what i would feel
you would agree, but it's not real.
it's just a dream; the gaslights are out.
the gaslights are out
would you tell me what i couldn't do?
could you tell even half a truth?
it's just a dream; the gaslights are out.
the gaslights are out
what will happen....happen to me?
what will you do when i see clearly
it's not a dream; the gaslights are out.
Your gaslights
are
out.

Bone China

One day if I'm lucky
somebody will make my bone dust
into a lovely cup
for well-poised lips to sip their tea from
delicately, delicately
delicately, now
True, your bootstraps may wear thin,
but pull yourself up by them anyhow, Deary
oh, dear, deary me
no time
no time
no time
no time for tears
no tears
and no fear preserving our bone dust
Bone dust
Bone dust
one day we''ll all be bone dust
Bone dust
Bone dust
you and me, destined to be
Bone dust
Wish I could recollect
every brilliant thing you've ever said
such tricksy, fickle things
flit, fleeting so easily
into banal annals of daily drudgery
so go on, trudge on
endlessly
on sleep, or no sleep
no sleep, no sleep
no sleep, no sleep
no sleep for dreaming
no dreams, no dreams
no dreams
and no hope but certainty
of our bone dust
Bone dust
Bone dust
one day we''ll all be bone dust
Bone dust
Bone dust
you and me, destined to be
Bone dust
I jumped right out of my skin
shadowboxin'
something insidious this way creeps
so I spun around swinging wildly
but the shadow was me
oh lonely me
yeah, there's only me
oh lonely me
Hot and heavy down my neck
I can feel Death's stinging breath
on the crimson gash spurting
my mortality
and my bones,
my bones
rattle
and creak
foretelling all tha's left of you and me is gonna be
Bone dust
Bone dust
one day we'll all be bone dust
Bone dust
Bone dust
you and me, destined to be
Bone dust
so dance dance dance dance dance
like it could be be be your last
cuz we're all gonna be
bone dust

Dimensional Drift
03:51

What happens when two stars collide?
Tell me, tell me
What happens when two stars collide?
Will it blow the whole sky open wide
Will it tear asunder the fabric of our time?
What happens when two stars collide
to you and I
to you and I?
What would I give to mend this rift?
Oh, do ya know
what I would give to mend this rift?
and how I wish you would forgive my slip
when I fell so hard, fell through the Earth
into madness
now all I know is I can't live
with this misery
and I just need you here
beside me.
so what would I give to mend this rift
'tween you and I
"tween you and I?
Oh, mercy,
mercy me, won't you pull me away
before I hit this dimensional shift
Oh I'd give everything if you'd just hold onto me
before I've gone too far adrift...
But I fear by the time you decide to arrive here
there'll be nothing left of me to give
I'd give everything to mend this rift
'tween you and I
'tween you and I
'tween you and I
'tween you and I

Tyranny of Desire
07:19

No matter what you do
I'll be there,
lurkin' in the back of your mind
you'll find me in your dreams
and when you awaken I'll be
in everything you see
I'm the creature of your night
you invited me across your threshold
I've crept in
gotten under your skin
I make you feverish
while all others leave you cold
Oh, I'm everything you desire
I'm everything you require
'cause I'm the Source
of your passion's fire
I'm the substance dissolving your resolve
I'm the mystery you must solve
so spin the wheel
we'll see who's revolvin', baby
And Now you're compelled
to submit to my spell
my song to disarm your defenses
my charms to command your senses
you've lost your way
been driven to distraction lately
so find yourself on my doorstep today
come inside and stay
for a while
stay with me
The sensation grows stronger
hour by hour
'til you can't withstand it any longer
you must choose
to lose your mind
or succumb to it's power
I'm your subtle need
superseding consciousness
I'll prick you gently
make you bleed
until you're almost lifeless
so tread carefully, baring your supplications
darling
'cause Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
and all is fair in Love and War
so consider this your fair warning of the storm
baby
And Now you're compelled
to submit to my spell
my song to disarm your defenses
my charms to command your senses
you've lost your way
been driven to distraction lately
so find yourself on my doorstep today
come inside and stay
Forever.....
stay with me

Lonesome Doves
05:57
|
|||
|
my, my, my
monsters lurk in every
riveting swivel of your hips
electromagnetic pulses
from spine to fingertip
no ohms of resistance
can define or defy
this particular hypnotism
nor slow
the palpitations
palpitations
palpitations
palpitations
of this familiar temptation
temptation
eager heart-fires leap
to lick lethal injury
and circling above
Lonesome Doves
Lonesome
Lonesome Doves
my, my , my
confessional testimonials
of innocence sizzle
incriminatingly
into my branded lips
smiles split us seemingly
designed to disguise
this infernal schism
subtle as a sledgehammer
driving
driving
driving
this comfortable fixation
fixation
lethal heart-fires leap
to lick eager injury
and circling above
Lonesome Doves
Lonesome, Lonesome
Lonesome Doves
Lonesome

This Love
03:33

this love
this love
this love steals us like a thief
this love
this love escapes with all our beliefs
this love
this love rises and twists like smoke
smirking like some sick unkillable joke
like immortal nightmare we ride
tied
together, beside ourselves
this love won't die
oh, this love
this love
this love
oh, this love
this love cloaks itself in clever guises
this love
this love gleams with daggers in its eyes]
this love
this love beats us to the punch every time
'til we're tappin' out, tappin' out
but there ain't no reason nor rhyme
to this love
this love won't die
oh, this love
and it don't matter what we try
how we curse, or how we cry
this love just won't die
oh, this love
this love
this love
this love
Oooooh, this love.

Pavlovian

Hush, now darling don't you dare
to make a single peep
let the fear creep in
like sin into a priest
hush, darling, I double dog dare you
to fetch the bait and bring it back
to salivate at my command
Pavlov, unring the bell
unring the bell
unsing the accursed spell
and free the pitiful mongrel
Love is dog from hell
wiley, prowling, preternatural
so Pavlov
unring the bell
unring the bell
Take warning, the wish swishes
swimming free of wariness
captive will, the drunkards swill
the fool's hearty apprentice
so fetch the bait and bring it back
salivate at my command
Pavlov, unring the bell
unring the bell
unsing the accursed spell
and free the pitiful mongrel
Love is dog from hell
wiley, prowling, preternatural
so Pavlov
unring the bell
unring the bell
so Pavlov, please....
unring the bell

Howl
05:31
|
|||
|
the moon, she wears her wraithy wisps
radiant in her rainbow ellipse
relentless mistress, she'll tether my will
with the thrill of whim
and unleash the beast within
I run wild
and Oh,
I've got to howl
I run wild
and Oh,
I've got to howl
Howl....
(howl-singing for several measures)
All it took was just one bite
since that night, I ain't been right
your scent lingers on
your taste on my tongue
oh my boy, now what have you done?
I run wild
and Oh,
I've got to howl
I run wild
and Oh, now
I've got to howl
Howl
(more howl-singing for several measures)
shapes shift quickly, just out of sight
who know what horrors darkness hides
shiver and tingle with heightened sense
just before I sink my teeth....
into
your
tender
fleshhhhhhhhhh.......
and we'll run
wild, and oh,
oh, we'll howl
we'll run wild
and oh, how
how we'll howl
howl
howl
(soprano howl-singing for many measures)
Howl...

Ghostships
08:23
|
|||
|
all these proxies, falling like I fell
too far from the mark
like tears from the thundering well
of love's eviscerating swell
drink this bottle to the bottom
the dregs will tell
of my transgressions
I'm the ghost ship
breaking wakes with her tattered sails
I'm the captain
killing his crew for the sake of a white whale
you're the storming wind
that always prevails
you are my star-crossed heavens
you are my
star-crossed heavens
telling tales of a soul's last shrieking knell
of Nietzsche's dragon rusting
with "Thou Should Have" scales
resting upon the ferryman's trusty prow
that Fate-ladened bow...
I'm the ghost ship
breaking wakes with her tattered sails
I'm the captain
killing his crew for the sake of a white whale
you're the storming wind
that always prevails
you are my star-crossed heavens
you are my
star-crossed heavens
place the coins now
in my mouth
to pay the toll
of oaths mortal tongues spit their curses upon
knowing well the cost
while failing to count the weight
of burdens too great
too great
to bear.
I'm the ghost ship
breaking wakes with her tattered sails
I'm the captain
killing his crew for the sake of a white whale
you're the storming wind
that always prevails
you are my star-crossed heavens
you are my
star-crossed heavens
together, tattoo the legends
of our map
upon
each other's fragile
skins...
